DENVER — Expect plenty of sunshine across most of Colorado on Saturday afternoon, with highs reaching the mid to upper 60s and low 70s. It will be a comfortable fall day, thanks to a weak ridge of high pressure overhead.
Overnight, skies will remain mostly clear, although some patchy fog could develop in far eastern Colorado before sunrise Sunday.
Conditions will begin to shift on Sunday as a low-pressure system approaches the state. For the metro area and plains, clouds will increase, with highs in the low 70s and upper 60s. This system will bring moisture, and winds aloft will strengthen, leading to a few light mountain snow showers late Sunday evening.
These snow showers will become more widespread Sunday night, with light accumulation possible over higher terrain.
Monday will turn cooler and windier as stronger mid-level flow moves in. Gusts could reach 40-50 mph in the typically windy areas along the Front Range and eastern plains. Some light snow may linger in the mountains, but travel impacts should remain minor.
Forecast models diverge after Monday—some keep conditions cool and breezy, while others predict a return of sunshine and calmer weather by midweek.
